This week we have “two special audio treats” for you! Read on!
We have all felt worried at one time or another. Last week in Part 1, we took a look at transforming worry to wonder. Did you try the exercise that appeared in last weeks feature article of transforming your worry into wonder? Worry causes us to feel stuck and attached to the problem or situation we are worried about. But, when we are just wondering about something, we feel light and unattached to the outcome. We’re just wondering, “hmmm… I wonder…” and oftentimes, we will forget about what we were wondering about, because we let it go.
Then, unexpectedly, something happens that answers your wondering, and you’re “blown away” by the surprising way your simple wondering was answered. This feeling of awe and amazement is called Wonderment. One of the Six Distinct Ways to Recognize Inner Guidance is through the state of WONDERMENT. When Wonderment shows up in your life you have just been given an answer to an essential question, or a wondering you expressed, or even a worry you transformed to wonder.
Wonderment is the state of awe and amazement, delight and surprise. Wonderment is the state or sensation you feel when you are filled with the extraordinariness of something. These extraordinary events are not coincidence! Wonderment is a direct answer from your Whisper to you. Wonderment is a response to you from the Source of Infinite Intelligence, the essence of your nature, and it guides you to your next step, the very next action to take.
The KEY to getting your questions answered in the form of Wonderment is to surrender the need to manipulate, analyze, or control a situation.
You may have a spontaneous wondering about something, or you may ask an important, essential question you have. In both cases you surrender trying to figure out an answer.
Worry, on the other hand, is a stopper. It’ll stop you right in your tracks. Worry is a projection of what you think will happen in the future where your attention fixates and freezes. With worry, you are repeatedly thinking about how to make something happen or prevent something from happening. Worry is stuck fear, and when we are worried we feel helpless and blocked. Although you may “know” that worry doesn’t solve anything, or help you release the fear, strangely, the strong feeling and paralysis of worry gives the perception that you are in control, and it can be difficult to “give up” that sense of control. So what can you do if you are deeply worried about something and it feels very hard to surrender, or let it go? How can you hear your Whisper’s answers then?
You may have a spontaneous wondering about something, or you may ask an important, essential question you have. In both cases you surrender trying to figure out an answer.

So, now that you have taken your worry and you have reduced or eliminated the emotional stress around it, you are ready to transform it into Wondering. Remember, Wondering is one of the ways to surrender the “need” or desire to figure out or manipulate a situation or the outcome of a situation. You see, we love to feel “certain” about things. We want to believe we know how something is going to turn out, or that our way is the right way, or the best way, for something to happen.
Yet, it is when we move into the state of being of “uncertain” we become open to the limitless potential and possibilities, and open to the ultimate intelligence that guides that potential. It is a certainty in this, our Whisper, which enables us to receive its guidance and hear its messages. The Whisper’s answer to our wondering, as well as, our willingness to surrender our own answers hurtle us into this state of Wonderment, which delights us so.
Now that you are wondering, notice how your answers show up. Perhaps your answers show up as a “chance” meeting, an unexpected phone call, a gift in the mail, the words from a “stranger”, or a song on the radio. These are your answers, and they come from the internal wisdom of you, showing up in amazing ways! You see, it is YOU-YEW (Your Essential Whisper) giving you the answer to your questions. Your essential nature, the essence of who you are is intrinsic to you, not separated from you. Answers arise from the purity and Love of this place, and guide you eternally. And in this, there are no worries!
